Review Austen's Cafe

Popped in for brunch after my daughters wedding yesterday. There were 6 of us, four adults and two children under 8yrs. The owner was great at making us feel welcome and attentive to our needs. Breakfast menu didn't disappoint we enjoyed the food and coffee 😋

First of all the best service I've ever experienced in a cafe, the food is also amazing quality, I have been a chef in a couple of 5 star restaurants and can't fault it. Over all I think this is my favourite cafe now, especially with the amaretto latte, many other amazing flavours to choose from too. Maximum stars. Extra for the witty service. Best around.

After a horrible journey from Plymouth, my blood sugars dictated that I should eat and I found Austen's café. I was greeted with such friendliness that it made me feel like I was coming home, how lovely. The food I had was fabulous and presented impeccably. Such lovely people. Thank you to them.

Found this gem in Alton, not only was the breakfast lovely and good value but the owner was super friendly and funny. Engaging with all his customers and a true local ensuring his elderly customers were looked after by putting on special affordable meals for them. A rare find and highly recommended.

I booked afternoon tea here for a surprise for my friend's birthday. Everyone absolutely loved it! The food was delicious, the presentation was incredible and the host Jonathan was a wonderful host! Highly recommend if you're ever in the area!!!! Jonathan honestly went above and beyond for us, even creating options for people with dietary requirements.

Found this place while visiting the dentist 🦷 Popped in for a cuppa tea while waiting on the better half , when she arrived we ordered breakfast 🍳 this consisted of one poached egg and beans on toast and one full English breakfast. It didn’t take long for us to clear the plates both meals were cooked from fresh no precooked rubbish , so expect to wait just a little bit longer but we’ll worth the wait . It had a very diverse menu and offers a variety of alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks so can cater for everyone’s needs. Jonathan looked after us and was very good at it, attentive friendly and not over the top 🔝 I’d highly recommend this for any meal time x great looking and clean 🧽 which is always a must xx

Fantastic all round. From the Cakes to the Lattes & Cappuccino, to the wonderful welcome and even an ice-cream treat for our Jack Russell! We'll definitely be back! Thank you Jonathan

Lovely little cafe, quality food and UNBELIEVABLE iced coffee, if you like coffee you must try one! And the owner was a pleasure with great character!

Gina Padfield

Friendly staff and lovely food, nice place for snack, main meal or just a coffee

Anne Bothwell

Always a pleasure going here for coffee, even when it's a take away. Went for a Christmas afternoon tea and it was delicious. The mulled wine was perfect, sandwiches included brie and cranberry and the cake was gorgeous. Portion size perfect, we almost couldn't manage it all. Service is always friendless and informal. Just a great place.

Austens cafe is a fantastic place to go to both relax on your own and with friends and family. I highly recommend every thing. Especially their coffees and cakes. but every thing is delious that they serve in the cafe I would recommend her to any one who asked were they should go. Great place food and staff.

Delicious food and friendly staff - a truly delightful place and perfect for Austen fans like me! Can't recommend the Eggs Benedict Royale enough - the best I've tasted! Fabulous place, can't wait to go again �

Had afternoon tea for mum's birthday. Was a lovely treat. Great selection of sandwiches , ( my fave was roasted pepper and goats cheese!) Petit four and scones with plenty of jam and cream. Washed down with prosecco. Would highly recommend.

Gemma Urquhart

We love Austen’s! Always a friendly and accommodating welcome and the food is delicious, with new items and specials always being added to the menu - this morning we had pancakes for breakfast (for Shrove Tuesday). Thanks Jonathon - definitely my favourite place for food (and the occasional alcoholic treat!)

Jodie Lonsdale Cantello

I can not Thank you enough for our amazing Mother’s Day afternoon tea! You were incredible catering for all our dietary needs! The platers were very generous and extremely tasty. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for great home cooked food for occasions or just a quick cuppa and piece of cake! Not only is the food amazing but Jonathan and co go out of there way to ensure your visit if perfect x

Stef Williams

Me and my little family came into your cafe today for a cup of tea and cake and we are both still talking about how good the cake was! Can’t recommend the cafe enough, the service is great and it’s perfectly located! Thank you so much! We will definitely be back xx

Tracy Sexton

Thank you for another amazing afternoon. Delicious food and amazing friendly staff. Definitely recommend this delightful place to eat. So close to the town and various car parks.

Rachel Sparkly Welch

Stonkingly good. Tastefully and tidily layed out inside this place is a gem. Took us a while to deicide what to eat as it all looked so good and I have to say that was the best pizza I've had in a very long time (stuff the chain Italians across the way go here!). The chap who runs it is friendly, effective and an all round joy. Can't wait to try the courtyard in the summer. Baby and dog friendly is just the icing on the cake. I must go back and try the cakes.

Joanne Norkett

Just had the best breakfast here highly recommend and the staff are lovely x

Emma Dance

We decided that Austen’s was the most appropriate place for my grandmothers wake. Jonathon looked after us all, was so chatty and polite to everyone, we can’t thank him enough. We were already regulars to the cafe but Jonathon worked so hard for us and our grandma and we just can’t appreciate that enough!!

Jim Borrell

Another great experience had by my daughter (18 months old) and me. Friendly, helpful and very obliging. Lovely food and the cake was awesome too. I recommend Austen’s if you fancy a quick bite or a long lunch.

June Lawler

Had a lovely tapas night to celebrate a friends birthday. Excellent value and the rhubarb and ginger gin cocktails were spot on. The service and ambience are a real selling point.
